So what hood do you think that is? That's not a tin grille truck and really doesn't look like a pre 1972 hood either

What is that? I didn't look closely when the pic was first posted, but going back and looking more closely, the right fender line looks more like a car than anything truck. ANY brand truck in those years had a smooth transition downward, not a hard body line like that..... HMMM. I'm gonna have to find that episode now.

The passing of the blue Charger in the left turn lane is "file footage" and use often in one or two seasons. I see if my son knows which episode and seasons to watch for it.

;71-'72 Plymouth Satallite hood. The Batalion Chief shows up to major fires in one. William Boyett from Adam 12 is on of the Chiefs.

Yes but problem is they will routinely show Squad en route to call and go from outside shot to inside shot looking out hood and show this one.

At least back in the day, the streets were seldom soaking wet but never a drop of water is ever found on a single car, like todays films, or the driver or the motorcyclist never turns the wheel or handlebars while driving or riding, or you hear the lightning at the exact same moment you see the flash (meaning it struck only feet away and therefore should be deafening).

Haha true. And as I've talked about before, every car in 70's TV has a Chrysler starter lol.

yup...sometimes they show the hood of the '72 Squad, sometimes the pre '71 Squad, and sometimes the '71 Plymouth.,

As long as they are all Mopars

When down at pops this is one of the shows he watches..Adam 12, Perry Mason, Emergency, Wells Fargo, Death Vally Days, Gunsmoke, Mannix, to name a few. EVERY NIGHT same shows, I know he’s seen each a 100 times or more. While watching A 12 another police car was a 1965 4 door Belvedere black and white, Malloy and other cop were in the the Satellite. Last week Pop was real taken back when I told him Perry Mason was gay. But I love watching the ‘old’ cars, what I grew up with!

On today

yeah the gold Mustang, a blur Maverick, and a Vetter show up a lot.

Just going by pics of pick up trucks, pics don't show a hard body line on the hood (bad pic? photo washout?) , but when I looked at pics of bigger trucks, namely the D500, the body line detail is clearly there.

So I guess the 'mystery' is solved.

I never claimed to be an expert on these, just having fun.....

Proving IMO he was a good actor, not sure that I needed to know.

LOL I never knew that. I don't watch that show (every once in awhile a few minutes if they are outdoors).

From Mannix:



Here's proof it was originally red, all one had to do was wait until the hood got opened for the bad guy to drain the brake fluid and cut the "emergency" or parking (your choice ) cable. Looks like a 340 orange engine not the turquoise 383 ('68) engine color. I always thought it was a 383

I saw an Adam 12 (again) last night in which Foster Brooks played a drunk trying to direct traffic on a busy street. I never caught it before but the characters name was "Harry Sachs" LOL.

And sorry I didn't mean to change the subject. Christine is great! My favorite part of the car is the front end; grille, headlight configuration. I can get into the fins too, but that front end

Larry you didn't change the subject until you wrote the bold/underlined above All good and I wasn't sure at first it was Foster Brooks, thanks for confirming that. Going through your entire acting career playing a drunk (or actually being drunk?) sure must have been a great time.

Mike

Oh geez, I'm a bonehead LOL! I guess I was thinking about another thread!

And yeah, Foster must've enjoyed practicing for that role LOL. I saw him on an old Tonight Show rerun (well they're all old) and he talked about how he didn't get started in "show business" until relatively late in life. 50's I believe.

I found these photo's on Kent McCord's website: https://www.kentmccord.com/archives/
